We better rail those asshats when we play them in football
Yeah I still get reminded of the 99 Independence Bowl where they beat us.
OU did much better than was ever expected. We had a terrific year.
No matter how far you come, if you don't win it all it's going to be disappointing.
That said, great effort guys on a great year!

Had our chances today, just couldn't get it done. Life goes on.
Hindsight 20/20, etc. I suppose I should have pulled for him to get us out of the 8th instead too
On the first passed ball, it looked like the catcher did not know what pitch was coming. It was a great season, hopefully, most will return and try to win it all next year.
Why do you think we were better than Mississippi? Be specific. Come on, man. Accept what happened and enjoy what we accomplished.

Bud Wilkinson, to the team after the Streak-Ending Loss to Notre Dame...'Gentlemen, We did not play well enough to win, today'. Many of you know that my husband was in that locker room on that day...Those words resounded in his ears, for years, and he put them to good use in every situation he encountered, for the rest of his short life...ALWAYS Bring Your BEST!!!

As always you can say what I want to say better than me, Senior. You’re a jewel.

Welp for one, if we'd half the bats we had till today? Do I need to continue? Cade brought the heat just as I thought he would. Two or three balls hit into play coulda turned this game around for us. Pretty simple.
I don't know if the plan was to make their pitchers throw as many pitches as possible, but we sat and watched a lot of strikes go right over the plate. Then we couldn't lay off the high fastball. Several swings and misses on balls out of the zone.
It was the right call. The runner must not cross over into the left side of the line. He should run on the outside of the line. If he had done that he would have been safe. His last couple of steps were in the field of play.
It was the right call. The runner's feet were in fair territory just before he hit the bag and the glove. If the runner enters the field of play (within fair territory) and interferes with the defensive play on the ball the runner is out. The runner has a plenty of room to run down the line never stepping in fair territory. If the first baseman steps out of bunds and prevent the runner's access to the bag the runner is safe.
The two runs allowed on passed balls were a total miscommunication between pitcher and catcher. It was obvious to me that Crooks set up for completely different pitch locations and ball spin on those two pitches. Crooks doesn't miss those balls when he knows where they are going.
The entire base is in the field of play. A base runner has to step in fair territory to step on the bag.
That is a fact. But it does not change the rules of running to first base with a ball in play.
On just about every base hit the runner is running in fair territory. start teaching infielders to throw to the right side of the bag. If the runner hit the first baseman's glove it's interference. On bunts just throw the ball at the runners back.
